This is a great stew in the New Mexico tradition of cooking with green chiles. You can get green chiles in the canned goods section of the grocery store - they are usually the tiny little cans that are near the salsa. Some of you will be able to find the frozen Bueno green chiles.
Green Chile Stew
Oil
2 lbs of chicken - chopped
2 medium potatoes, diced
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic - chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
4-6 cups water - can use 1/2 chicken broth
18 oz. chopped green chiles - use mild or hot, whichever you prefer
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste
Heat oil in dutch oven. Add chicken, potato and onion. Brown slightly. Add garlic and cumin and stir for one minute. Then add water/chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add chiles and reduce to simmer. Simmer about an hour, longer if you want. It will taste better the next day. Serve with corn tortillas on the side.
